Jesus concluded His sermon on the mount with an illustration of two men who each built a house. While they shared some similarities, there was a key difference between the two, which led to very different outcomes. There are some important lessons we need to learn from this. “Therefore everyone who hears these words of […]

When Jesus gathered with His disciples shortly before His death, He instituted the Lord’s Supper. This would be a memorial to remember His death, and would be observed by His people in the church until His return at the end of time. Because of this, we continue to observe the Lord’s Supper “on the first […]

For many religious people, when they talk about salvation, they talk about “getting” saved. It is common to hear phrases like these: When did you get saved? I got saved when I was fifteen years old.

Now, we are going to wrap up the series by looking at Peter’s conclusion. “For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you […]

This year is quickly drawing to a close, and it will be 2026 before we know it. Before we get there, it is time for the annual “Top 5” post on Plain Bible Teaching, where we look back at the most-read articles, most-listened-to podcast episodes, and most-watched videos – not necessarily to see what was most […]

“I hate, I reject your festivals, nor do I delight in your solemn assemblies. Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them; and I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings. Take away from Me the noise of your songs; I […]

What does “propitiation” mean? How is “justification” connected to salvation? What does “sanctification” look like in our day-to-day lives? The Bible uses some powerful words to describe God’s plan to save mankind. However, these words are not always easy to understand, especially when they are not part of our everyday vocabulary. This book explores key Bible terms that unlock the message of the gospel.
Big Words in the Bible examines five important words – Propitiation, Reconciliation, Sanctification, Justification, and Resurrection – using plain language to see how the Scriptures describe these concepts and how the apostle Paul employs them in his letter to the Romans. This book also contains an appendix with eleven additional articles to explore these topics further.
Whether you are new to the Bible and want to grow in your understanding or want a simple way to explain these core gospel doctrines to others, this book will be helpful. With a focus on the Scriptures, Big Words in the Bible helps break down these fundamental topics to shed light on the life-changing message of the gospel and the salvation found in it.
